[QUOTE="Magnumdude, post: 207366, member: 751"] [b]Break in[/b] Well, its hard to say. I put 10 rounds down range just to iron out any possible rough spots, though finding one of those in a Krieger barrel is akin to finding hell frozen over. I didn't shoot for any type of group. I then cleaned back down to bare metal and applied Doug Burche's Ultimate Bore Coat. After it dries overnight you cure it by shooting 10 to 20 rounds fast enough to get the barrel warm. I shot three groups of 3 rounds each just goofing around at 100 yards using Berger 210 VLDs and all three groups were under 1/2". I haven't done any load development or anything else. I still need to shoot the last 10 rounds and finish the "curing" process, then I'll start load development. I'd say it's capable of the ocassional 1/4" group. Probably won't agg that due to the caliber but it surprised me when I shot those groups. I about half-way paid attention when I shot those groups. I can't wait to get it set up with a load it really likes and stretch it out a little. [/QUOTE]
